Description
Barter: Poems Monica Youn's debut collection of poetry, Barter, is a striking exploration of the intersections between reality and representation. Through a dazzling array of structures and allusions, these poems describe and become a gallery of images, from Polaroids left on windshields to step-by-step instructions for drawing. The poems in Barter negotiate transactions between scarcity and excess, pornography and abstraction, and the thing and the thing seen. With its vibrant new voice and innovative approach, this book introduces readers to a fresh way of seeing.
